Chapter 216 214. Xiao Li's Invitation (Two in One)
"Dabai! Water! Add ice!"
In the quiet living room, Chen Li'an's voice suddenly came from the study.
Li Dabai stood up immediately after hearing the call, and walked towards the refrigerator.Jiang Qingqing rubbed her knees and stood up, wanting to go to the study to see what Chen Li'an was doing.
It's like wanting to see how the business tycoons fight in business, how they earn hundreds of millions of dollars in sales, and want to see how Chen Li'an strategizes!
Li Dabai moved quickly, poured a glass of ice water and walked towards the study, Jiang Qingqing took the opportunity to follow behind, slipped to the door of the study and heard Chen Li'an calling inside.
"We are a national brand of a patriotic enterprise. Is it wrong to resist the invasion of foreign companies? Is it wrong to give consumers a little feedback after getting rich first? How can it be a lie!"
Patriotic entrepreneurs. National brands get rich first and then get rich later.
When Jiang Qingqing heard these words, she glanced at Chen Li'an, who was on the phone inside, and couldn't help feeling agitated. Sure enough, I made the right choice!Such an excellent man is worthy to be my master. Master
Jiang Qingqing blushed a little. Although she was a little shy, she was more proud. He is still so young, and he is still an artist. Now he can plan strategies in the business war of intrigues and not forget his original intention. Where in this world can he find such an outstanding person!
Li Dabai in the study put down the water and went out. Looking at Jiang Qingqing who was standing at the door, he closed the door of the study directly, looked at her and said, "Don't disturb Teacher Chen."
This time Jiang Qingqing was not unhappy because of Li Dabai's attitude, but turned around obediently and went back to the living room.
Seeing Jiang Qingqing being so honest, Li Dabai narrowed his eyes suspiciously, and then he didn't bother to care about her.
Chen Li'an in the study took a sip of water, took a breath and said to the phone: "Second uncle, it's okay to play the patriotic card, don't think so much, just follow what I said, I will go to Yangcheng in a while, and meet you face to face Said, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we must seize it.”
In a meeting room of a factory in Yangcheng, Qiao Linmu and several backbones of the factory, hearing Chen Li'an's voice on the phone, looked at each other and then turned to Qiao Linmu.
Qiao Linmu put out the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "Okay, let's discuss it first and talk to you later, but you have to come over as soon as possible."
"Okay, but we must hurry up and make a decision. Many companies will join in this battle soon. If we are late, we will lose the limelight."
Chen Lian hung up the phone after a few more words of advice. His expression was a little tired after being excited. Although he didn't understand the specific operations and management, he was able to participate in such a big scene with his own vision. It was still very successful. emotional.
In fact, in Chen Li'an's own opinion, he is just talking on paper, giving a direction and plan. If he is really asked to do these things, it is likely that none of them will be good. Let alone talk about cooperation with Changhong, where does Changhong's door open? He doesn't know.
However, an enterprise is a team, and each person has a different division of labor. As long as Chen Li'an can make effective suggestions and plans at critical moments, it will be fine, and other things will naturally be handled by professionals.
You can't expect a technical worker to do the sales work, let the salesman do the research and development, each perform their own duties and everyone does their own work, there is no reason not to be successful.
If it really fails, then ask the leader what he does for food.
In the conference room of Lixin VCD, Qiao Linmu looked at the backbones of various departments in the factory, knocked on the table and said, "You have heard Li'an's words, whether the sales volume of the factory can double in the second half of the year depends on whether we can catch it this time." Take a chance."
The director in charge of production said with some concern: "Director, then we have to increase production in advance, but if the sales volume fails, we will have a backlog in our hands."
"This is not your concern, as long as you can ensure that the finished lettuce comes out on time and according to the quantity." Qiao Linmu couldn't help but lit a cigarette again, glanced at the sales department and said, "Old Xiao, are you I have worked in sales for more than ten years, do you think this plan will be successful?"
Qiao Linmu was also worried in his heart. He rashly joined the battle in the color TV industry. If he won, the sales would double, but if he lost, all his hard work in the previous year would be wasted.
Old Xiao from the sales department smoked a cigarette and remained silent for a while and said, "The plan is very good, but the risk is not small. If it is not executed well, the loss outweighs the gain."
In this plan, Lao Xiao was under the greatest pressure. After taking a puff of cigarette, he looked at Qiao Linmu and said, "But I think this opportunity must be seized!"
After hearing what Lao Xiao said, Qiao Linmu felt a little relieved, so he patted the table and said, "Then do it!"
"Done!" Everyone in the meeting room shouted together.
The companies in the 90s all carried a burst of vigor and courage, much more courageous than those later bosses, and they all dared to fight.
Chen Li'an trusted his own plan and those in the factory, but just to be sure, he sat in the study and carefully sorted out his plan. After all, it was related to hundreds of millions of sales and the livelihood of hundreds of workers, so it was a bit sloppy. No way.
After sorting out all the plans, Chen Li'an checked the deficiencies and filled the omissions several times before he was finally relieved. After drinking the water glass that had long been cold on the table, he called Li Dabai over.
"Dabai, go and fax these materials to Yangcheng later." Chen Li'an handed the materials to Li Dabai, and urged: "This matter is very important, and there must be no omissions when faxing."
Li Dabai took the information and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I am no longer the Li Dabai before!"
Chen Li'an looked at Li Dabai who was full of energy, nodded his head slightly, and then said hesitantly: "Forget it, I'll go with you, I just happened to go out for a meal, I'm almost starving to death."
Li Dabai: "." You just don't believe me!snort!We are assistants who have studied in the secretary's handbook!
However, Li Dabai didn't dare to protest against such a big event. He concealed his embarrassment and looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Okay, but your classmate is still waiting for you outside, what should we do?"
Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Jiang Qingqing was still at home, so he hesitated and said, "Then let's go together and send her back to school after dinner."
"Okay, by the way, this is the list of people who called you today. I have marked a few important things." Li Dabai handed the small notebook in his hand to Chen Li'an.
Chen Li'an took it and glanced at it, then put it on the table and said, "Good job, let's go eat first."
More than two hours later, Jiang Qingqing let go of Chen Li'an's hand in an Audi car at the gate of Beiying, left a kiss on his cheek, and got out of the car with a sweet smile, carrying a bunch of presents.
After Jiang Qingqing left, Li Dabai who was driving in front couldn't help curling his lips, and said in a resentful tone: "Mr. Chen, I thought you only liked older ones."
Chen Li'an glanced at Li Dabai, closed his eyes and said calmly: "Young people, don't always say what you like or don't like, be simple, we are all friends."
Li Dabai: "." You are so innocent, if I hadn't seen the torn silk stocking in the bedroom, I would have believed it!
Maybe it was due to too much physical exertion yesterday and too much mental energy today, Chen Li'an fell asleep after sitting in the back seat for a while.
Li Dabai looked at the faint dark circles on Chen Li'an's face, he was really afraid that he would die suddenly one day, why would he make so many friends for nothing.
The car drove very smoothly, and when the car stopped at the destination, Chen Li'an didn't even wake up.
Seeing Chen Li'an falling asleep with his head tilted, Li Dabai sighed and came to the back seat, sat next to Chen Li'an, supported his head on his lap, and gently rubbed his temples.
Li Dabai looked over the hills and looked at the sleeping Chen Li'an. He couldn't help but slide his fingers over his sexy jawline, and finally stayed on his lips. He pressed his fingers lightly, then raised his hand again. Print it on your face.
Li Dabai couldn't help laughing, using the words in Japanese novels, this should be called an act of a slut.Using the words in youth novels, this is called an ignorant and innocent secret love.
Li Dabai gently rubbed Chen Li'an's temples, and just looked at him quietly like this, even though it was getting dark outside and his legs were numb, he still didn't choose to wake up Chen Li'an.
After waking him up, he must be busy again, so let him have a good rest first.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Li'an opened his eyes in a daze, and saw two hemispheres blocking his view, the tip of his nose was still lingering with a faint girlish body fragrance, and the pillow under his head seemed to be full of elastic girlish legs.
Li Dabai looked at Chen Li'an who opened his eyes, and asked softly: "Mr. Chen, you are awake, do you want to sleep for a while?"
"No need." Chen Li'an sat up with his hands propped up, looked at Li Dabai and said, "Thank you, I slept very well just now, and I haven't slept so soundly for a long time."
Li Dabai showed a sweet smile, and secretly pressed his numb and unconscious thigh.
Chen Li'an glanced at Li Dabai's movements, stretched his waist and asked, "How long have I been asleep, and what time is it now?"
"Two hours, it's [-]:[-] now." Li Dabai replied immediately.
Chen Li'an didn't expect that he had slept for so long. No wonder Li Dabai kept rubbing his legs. Thinking that he still had seven or eight phone calls, he said to her, "It's so late, go back and rest early."
"Yes." Li Dabai responded, and just about to lift his legs, he couldn't help but snorted. His legs seemed to be pricked by countless fine needles, and the numb feeling was like the snowflake screen of a TV.
Looking at Li Dabai's appearance, Chen Li'an couldn't help laughing, then pushed open the car door, went to the front seat and adjusted the seat forward.
"Be patient, just straighten your legs and rest for a while."
Li Dabai hummed with a blushing face, feeling that the voice he just called sounded a bit indecent.
Chen Li'an lay down in front of the car window and said to Li Dabai: "You go home after a while, I will go back first."
Seeing Chen Li'an's leaving back, Li Dabai couldn't help muttering: "I don't know how to rub it for me, I have no conscience."
Chen Li'an returned home in his study, took Li Dabai's small notebook, and answered the phone calls one by one according to the notes on it.
By the time the last call was made, it was already an hour later.
Chen Li'an looked at the things he was going to do later in the notebook, and called Li Dabai again, and reported his upcoming itinerary to her, and asked her to make a itinerary.
"I'll be busy in the next two months." Chen Li'an sighed after hanging up the phone, and was just about to take a shower and sleep when the phone rang again.
Looking at the unfamiliar number, Chen Li'an hesitated for a moment before answering it. An unexpected voice soon came from the other end of the phone.
"Hi, is this Lian?"
Chen Li'an asked with some uncertainty: "Miss Xiaoli?"
"Yes, it's me." Liu Xiaoli on the other end of the phone smiled, and then joked, "You seem surprised?"
Chen Li'an leaned back on the chair, put his legs on the desk and said, "Of course I was surprised. I thought Miss Xiaoli had forgotten about me."
"Are you complaining that I haven't contacted you for so long?" Liu Xiaoli snorted softly and said, "Don't you also contact me?"
"Miss Xiaoli, why didn't you leave me a call?"
"."
Liu Xiaoli suddenly realized that she really didn't leave a call for Chen Li'an.Chen Li'an didn't ask her phone number at that time, Liu Xiaoli thought for a while and felt that Chen Li'an didn't ask her for the number at the beginning, as if she was sure that she would contact him proactively.
Or if he doesn't take the initiative, he doesn't care?That's all?Anyway, you don't take the initiative?
Many thoughts came to Liu Xiaoli's mind, but she adjusted her mood and said: "Women are always reserved, you should ask me."
Chen Li'an smiled and did not answer Liu Xiaoli's question directly, but asked instead: "Then what is the phone number now?"
Liu Xiaoli on the other end of the phone had an embarrassing face, and felt that she had been involved. She just said that women should be reserved, so why didn't she take the initiative to call?
The little man was quite good at it. Liu Xiaoli snorted pretending to be shy and said, "If you tease me again, I'll die."
"Okay, just kidding." Chen Li'an put his legs down, sat up straight and asked, "Where are you now? Wuhan or Beijing."
"I just arrived in the capital today, and I want to ask you something."
"Are you in a hurry? If you're not in a hurry, we'll meet and talk tomorrow."
"Tonight. Can't you?"
"OK! Address!"
Listening to Chen Li'an's words, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help laughing silently, the little man knew you couldn't help it, but she still pretended to hesitate and said: "Forget it, it's too late now, let's see you tomorrow."
Chen Li'an: "." Playing tricks, right?Careless!
"Then let's talk about it tomorrow." After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and took off the battery by the way.
Chen Li'an hummed a song and put water in the bathroom to take a bath. No matter what Liu Xiaoli thought, he had to let her know the price of playing routines. It's too fussy to be an adult and still play routines!
Chen Li'an hung up the phone suddenly, Liu Xiaoli was also taken aback for a moment, struggled for a while and called Chen Li'an again, but this time the connection failed.
Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Liu Xiaoli angrily threw the phone on the bed and couldn't help snorting, "Stingy, you are so angry."
But after seeing the newspaper on the table from the corner of the eye, Liu Xiaoli forgot all the unhappiness again, such a man is interesting, what can a man without temper have.
Liu Xiaoli picked up the newspaper on the table, looked at the report on Lixin VCD, thought of all kinds of Chen Li'an, thought of his handsome face and melancholy eyes, thought of his artwork being sought after by so many rich people in Paris, thought of.
Such a man is really hard to make people angry.
There are many people who are richer than Chen Li'an, but it is almost impossible to find someone as good as him.Not to mention people who are the same as Chen Li'an, even among those who are ten years older than Chen Li'an, there are not many people who are better than him.
How could she get angry with such an excellent man over some trivial matter? Liu Xiaoli put down the newspaper and began to think about what to wear tomorrow. On the bed behind her, a little girl carved with pink jade was biting her finger and sleeping soundly.
Normally, divorced single mothers seldom bring their children to meet their ambiguous partner, but for Liu Xiaoli, she has to do so. She has to see if Chen Li'an can accept it. If not, then stop it as soon as possible, so as not to waste time and affection.
No one is as important as a daughter.
Everyone has something that they care about the most, and Chen Li'an naturally has it, but now the only thing he cares about is himself.
As for who he will care about in the future, Chen Li'an doesn't know, anyway, he just wants to sleep well now.
But lying on the soft pillow, Chen Li'an missed Li Dabai's knee pillow a little bit.
"I forgot to buy work clothes for Dabai today." Chen Li'an turned over and muttered before falling into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, before Chen Li'an got up, Li Dabai had already arrived. After he took out the key from his bag and opened the door, he didn't hear any movement, so he pushed open the door of Chen Li'an's bedroom.
Looking at Chen Li'an who was still sleeping, Li Dabai leaned over to look at his face, smiled foolishly, and then quietly left the bedroom after looking at it for a long time.
Half an hour later, Chen Li'an was woken up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Li Dabai standing at the head of his bed, looking at him with a set of clean clothes in his hand.
"Mr. Chen, it's already eight o'clock. You have an appointment with director Feng Xiaoning and Ning Jing at ten o'clock."
Chen Li'an yawned, looked at Li Dabai who was wearing a white shirt and short skirt, and said mysteriously, "Dabai, come here, I want to lean on you and sleep for a while."
Li Dabai froze for a moment, looked at Chen Li'an hesitantly with the clothes in his hand, finally sat down next to Chen Li'an with a blushing face, let Chen Li'an pillow his leg like yesterday, and gently rubbed his temples.
Chen Li'an smelled the perfume on Li Dabai's body, enjoyed her gentle way, and couldn't help muttering: "Dabai, you have spoiled me."
Li Dabai's hands stopped, and he really wanted to squeeze Chen Li'an's head, obviously you asked for it, okay?
However, seeing Chen Li'an enjoying with his eyes closed, Li Dabai was still reluctant to use more of his energy, and still gently rubbed Chen Li'an's temples.
It's just that her eyes were always looking at Chen Li'an's chest that was exposed outside the quilt, and she almost couldn't help but want to poke it a few times.
It's a pity that such benefits didn't last long, Chen Li'an pulled the quilt to cover himself miserly, let Li Dabai go out, and got dressed by himself.
Li Dabai sat in the living room with his mouth pursed, feeling that Chen Li'an was too stingy, he didn't even show him changing clothes, what a stingy man!
Not long after, Chen Li'an finished washing and came out after getting dressed. Li Dabai took a look, walked up to Chen Li'an, straightened his collar and said, "Do you want to eat something before going?"
Chen Li'an casually took an apple from the table and said, "In a hurry, just eat an apple."
"I know you're in a rush, so you need to sleep a little longer." Li Dabai said with disgust, and ran to the kitchen to get a boiled egg and handed it to Chen Li'an.
Chen Li'an knew he was in the wrong, so he smiled and didn't refute. At that time, he didn't wake up and his mind was in a daze. It really wasn't intentional.
The place where I met Feng Xiaoning was not far from Chen Li'an's house, it took only 10 minutes by car.
I haven't seen her for two months. Feng Xiaoning doesn't seem to have changed much, but he can tell that he is in a very happy mood. It seems that after the film is cut, he is very confident in the film.
Ning Jing's changes were not small, but when she saw Chen Li'an, her expression was slightly embarrassed, and then she covered it up.
"What have you been up to lately? It's really not easy to find you." Ning Jing looked at Chen Li'an and complained. She called Chen Li'an several times during this time, but she couldn't get in touch.
Chen Li'an smiled apologetically and said: "I was filming in the mountains, my mobile phone has no signal, and there are too few communication base stations in China."
"What movie are you filming again?" Ning Jing asked curiously, "Do you really plan to stop doing art and just be an actor?"
"No, I just encountered a good script and couldn't stay idle." After Chen Li'an explained, he looked at Feng Xiaoning and said, "Director Feng is looking for me this time to discuss the release?"
Feng Xiaoning nodded and said: "The factory has seen the finished film, and plans to participate in this year's Golden Rooster, so it may be released in advance. You are an investor, so naturally you need to talk to you."
Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment. If he remembered correctly, Red River Valley should be participating in the next Golden Rooster. It seems that under his own influence, this time has been brought forward.
Chen Li'an thought for a while and asked, "Are you sure you will win the prize? This year's Golden Rooster is not easy to win."
Feng Xiaoning smiled and said: "It is indeed difficult, Hong Cherry, Changing Face, Kong Fansen will participate, but the factory is very confident, and I am also confident."
Chen Li'an didn't know where Feng Xiaoning's confidence came from, which of these films was the most annoying, and this was the Golden Rooster Award, did you have a chance to win the award if you made a good film?
There is a slogan in the selection of the Golden Rooster: Don't recognize relatives, only recognize works;
You don't need to read the previous ones, just read the last sentence, fully negotiate and take the overall situation into consideration.
With whom?What's the big picture?
Anyway, looking left and right, Chen Li'an and Feng Xiaoning didn't look like the big picture, but considering the Shanghai Film Studio, it is reckoned that he can give the Hundred Flowers Award, and the Golden Rooster should not be counted on.
As a new product that has only been developed for a century, film has become the most influential art form in the world.
The huge influence will naturally make this art no longer pure. Both capitalists and politicians will want to directly or indirectly achieve some of their goals through movies.
Therefore, film festivals are naturally not pure. As long as there are people, there will be various demands and purposes, and film festivals also have their own demands and purposes.
On the surface, it is to promote the development of the film, and people will not tell you what happens behind the scenes.
Does Red River Valley have an award-winning level?Of course there are, otherwise Six Princesses would not replay it over and over again, but if you really want to win an award, you don't just watch the quality of the movie.
Especially in awards like the Golden Rooster, Red River Valley and Feng Xiaoning still can't reach the trophy. The best result is to give a worthless Baihua. Anyway, there are more yellow eggs every year, and it doesn't matter if there is one more.
Chen Li'an didn't have any idea about this point. He didn't care if he could be awarded or not. After participating in two film festivals, he understood that this was ideology, ZZ position and personal connections.
No matter which country's film festivals are like this, the country is naturally no exception, and there are even leading places. It is natural to be stronger than others.
Chen Li'an stirred the coffee in the cup, looked at Feng Xiaoning and asked, "When is the movie going to be released in the factory?"
"July, during the summer vacation." Feng Xiaoning thought for a while and said, "However, the specific release time is still being negotiated, and it will be July [-] if nothing unexpected happens."
Chen Li'an nodded and said: "I don't have any objections. You are professionals and know better than me what the schedule is suitable for. If you need me to do anything, you can tell me."
"Yes, you have to participate in the promotion this time!" Ning Jing, who had been silent by the side, interrupted immediately, obviously dissatisfied with Chen Li'an's failure to participate in the winner's promotion last time.
They are both leading roles, so how can you be lazy!
Chen Li'an couldn't help giving Ning Jing a blank look, and then said to Feng Xiaoning: "I will try my best to participate in the publicity, but I can't guarantee the exact time right now. It will have to wait for you to fix the schedule."
Feng Xiaoning nodded and said, "I will make sure as soon as possible, and Mr. Zhou would like to trouble you to inform me."
Chen Li'an agreed and said, "Okay."
After finishing the business, they chatted for a while before ending the meeting, but Ning Jing did not go with Feng Xiaoning, but asked Chen Li'an to take her home.
After sitting in the car, Chen Li'an looked at Ning Jing and asked, "What's the matter, I feel that you have something against me today."
Ning Jing snorted and said, "I'm afraid you're lazy, how can there be a leading actor who doesn't participate in the promotion?"
"I said I would participate, but this time I invested money." Chen Li'an glanced at Ning Jing suspiciously, always feeling that she looked at him a little differently, but he couldn't explain why.
Ning Jing was embarrassed by Chen Li'an, so she deliberately changed the subject and said, "Do you have time tomorrow?"
"Very busy, what's your business?" Chen Li'an asked back.
Ning Jing glanced at Chen Li'an and said, "Forget about being busy, do you want to have a cup of tea with me later?"
Chen Li'an looked at Ning Jing and always felt that there was something wrong with her, so he refused: "Next time, I have something to do later."
"I really don't understand what you're busy with. If you don't go, don't go." Ning Jing said relaxedly, but she was still a little bit disappointed in her heart, and then said to Li Dabai: "Just stop at the intersection ahead."
"Sister Jing, you haven't arrived yet." Li Dabai asked looking at the rearview mirror.
"I still have something to go home."
As soon as Ning Jing said this, the car suddenly became quiet. Ning Jing realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. If she had something to go home, she had to be sent by Chen Li'an. It was not obvious that she had another purpose!
Combined with what Ning Jing said in the car, it seems that her purpose is to ask Chen Li'an to go to her house for tea?
Ning Jing took a sneak peek at Chen Li'an, and was relieved to find that he didn't respond, thinking that he didn't think much about it.
After the car came to a complete stop, Ning Jing quickly opened the door and got out of the car. She just took a step, then opened the door and looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Call me tomorrow if you are free. I have something to do with you."
Before Chen Li'an could reply, Ning Jing turned around and left, leaving only a back view for Chen Li'an.
"It's strange." Chen Li'an closed the car door in confusion, and said to Li Dabai: "You can contact Feng Xiaoning later to confirm the scheduled time of the Red River Valley. Affect my subsequent arrangements."
"Okay." Li Dabai responded, then started the car and continued to move forward.
After a while, the car arrived at the studio. Chen Li'an got out of the car without waiting for Li Dabai to find a parking space. Parking in the alley is really troublesome. Every time he drove over, Li Dabai had to find a place to park for a long time.
The studio is still the same as it was before, without any changes. The tree in the yard is still bare, with only countless steel pipes adorning it, forming a strong contrast with the luxuriant ginkgo trees.
Chen Li'an came to the studio, and there was a faint smell of oil paint in the room. Bai Qing was wearing a white T-shirt, sitting in front of the easel and drawing, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Chen Li'an glanced at the electric fan and air conditioner that were not turned on, and walked behind Bai Qing to look at her painting.
This time the painting is still the theme of the family, but it has changed from the dining table to the outdoors, a family of three standing on a long stone step, but now only the general shape is drawn, Chen Li'an still can't see what Bai Qing wants to express What.
Bai Qing felt that there was someone behind him, and it was that familiar smell, so he didn't stop but continued to draw.
"Where did you go this time?" Chen Li'an asked behind Bai Qing.
The paintbrush in Bai Qing's hand daubed lightly on the canvas, without looking back, he said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm at home."
Chen Li'an froze for a moment, looked at the family of three on the canvas, and vaguely understood why she continued to create family themes.
The room was quiet for a while, Chen Li'an raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and asked after a while, "What do you think about the solo exhibition in the United States?"
Bai Qing put down the paintbrush in his hand and thought for a while, then said, "I want to see it."
"Okay, then I'll reply to Jifa."
Chen Li'an was not surprised by Bai Qing's choice, art needs collision.
The development of modern art in the United States has its own very unique trajectory. Abstract Expressionism and Popism all came from there. Even at present, American artists are beginning to emphasize breaking away from any genre.
The concept of modern art is constantly overthrown and recreated there, and New York is now the modern art center surpassing Paris and London.
It is very attractive to many artists, and Bai Qing naturally wants to see what this world modern art center is like.
However, Chen Li'an himself did not have a good impression of the United States. He had seen too much news in his previous life, so it was difficult for him to have a good impression of this country.
This can be regarded as the result of being influenced by public opinion. It is estimated that the Western world has a bad impression of China.However, this did not affect Chen Li'an's curiosity about American modern art.
As an immigrant country, as a new center of modern art, Chen Li'an wants to see what interesting things have been produced in the collision of different cultures.
It's just that Ji Fa chose to hold the exhibition in August, and there is still one month left.
Chen Li'an stayed in the studio all afternoon, went out to film for a few months, and took so many photos that he still hasn't been developed.
When taking pictures of the Red River Valley, Chen Li'an took many photos of snow-capped mountains and temples, as well as local residents and monks. Chen Li'an recorded the purity and devotion there.
All kinds of scenery and characters reveal simple beliefs in Chen Li'an's shots. Chen Li'an wants to hold another film festival when Red River Valley is released.
Chen Li'an, who had been busy all afternoon, developed all the photos.
Chen Li'an stood in the dark darkroom, looking at the hanging photos, Chen Li'an felt that his mood had been washed again.
But soon this moment of tranquility was broken, Chen Li'an took out his mobile phone, looked at the number on it, and hesitated to answer the call.
"You were angry yesterday?"
As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Xiaoli's voice came.
Chen Li'an felt that his state of mind was destroyed, and he didn't have that much mood to play with Liu Xiaoli, so he said directly: "No."
Listening to Chen Li'an's voice, Liu Xiaoli looked purely like those disillusioned monks in the temple, and wondered whether he was in a state of wanting nothing.
But Liu Xiaoli continued: "Then do you have time tonight? I want to treat you to dinner."
Chen Li'an looked at the photos in the room and knew that his current state was no longer suitable for picking photos, so he replied: "Okay."
After hearing Chen Li'an's promise, Liu Xiaoli showed a smile, almost thinking that you have no desires or desires.
After making an appointment with Chen Li'an, Liu Xiaoli hung up the phone, looked at her daughter who was tinkering with her cosmetics, and said, "Cissy, let's go out for dinner, let's introduce you to a very powerful uncle."
Sissy, who was wearing shofar braids, turned her head to look at Liu Xiaoli and said oh, her voice was soft and cute.
Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but rubbed her little face, picked her up and put her on her lap and said, "Does Qianxi want to do makeup like mom?"
"Well, I also want to be as good-looking as my mother!" Sissy immediately turned her head to look at Liu Xiaoli and said.
Liu Xiaoli hugged Sissi dotingly and said: "Our Sissy is prettier than mother, so she must be a little fairy in the future!"
"I don't want to be a fairy, I want to be a princess!"
"Okay, okay, our Sissy is a princess."
In the studio, Chen Li'an came out of the darkroom and saw that Bai Qing was still painting, so he walked over and said, "I'm leaving first, I have an appointment for dinner tonight."
Bai Qing hummed indifferently, and then asked again: "Will you go to my place at night?"
Chen Li'an was looking at the family of three in Bai Qing's painting, he was stunned for a moment when he heard her words and said, "Well, I'll be there later."
"Then go get busy." Bai Qing picked up the pen and continued to draw.
(I just found out in the morning that I forgot to post it yesterday. I remember setting a timed release. My brain seems to be broken.)
(End of this chapter)
"Dabai! Water! Add ice!"
In the quiet living room, Chen Li'an's voice suddenly came from the study.
Li Dabai stood up immediately after hearing the call, and walked towards the refrigerator.Jiang Qingqing rubbed her knees and stood up, wanting to go to the study to see what Chen Li'an was doing.
It's like wanting to see how the business tycoons fight in business, how they earn hundreds of millions of dollars in sales, and want to see how Chen Li'an strategizes!
Li Dabai moved quickly, poured a glass of ice water and walked towards the study, Jiang Qingqing took the opportunity to follow behind, slipped to the door of the study and heard Chen Li'an calling inside.
"We are a national brand of a patriotic enterprise. Is it wrong to resist the invasion of foreign companies? Is it wrong to give consumers a little feedback after getting rich first? How can it be a lie!"
Patriotic entrepreneurs. National brands get rich first and then get rich later.
When Jiang Qingqing heard these words, she glanced at Chen Li'an, who was on the phone inside, and couldn't help feeling agitated. Sure enough, I made the right choice!Such an excellent man is worthy to be my master. Master
Jiang Qingqing blushed a little. Although she was a little shy, she was more proud. He is still so young, and he is still an artist. Now he can plan strategies in the business war of intrigues and not forget his original intention. Where in this world can he find such an outstanding person!
Li Dabai in the study put down the water and went out. Looking at Jiang Qingqing who was standing at the door, he closed the door of the study directly, looked at her and said, "Don't disturb Teacher Chen."
This time Jiang Qingqing was not unhappy because of Li Dabai's attitude, but turned around obediently and went back to the living room.
Seeing Jiang Qingqing being so honest, Li Dabai narrowed his eyes suspiciously, and then he didn't bother to care about her.
Chen Li'an in the study took a sip of water, took a breath and said to the phone: "Second uncle, it's okay to play the patriotic card, don't think so much, just follow what I said, I will go to Yangcheng in a while, and meet you face to face Said, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we must seize it.”
In a meeting room of a factory in Yangcheng, Qiao Linmu and several backbones of the factory, hearing Chen Li'an's voice on the phone, looked at each other and then turned to Qiao Linmu.
Qiao Linmu put out the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "Okay, let's discuss it first and talk to you later, but you have to come over as soon as possible."
"Okay, but we must hurry up and make a decision. Many companies will join in this battle soon. If we are late, we will lose the limelight."
Chen Lian hung up the phone after a few more words of advice. His expression was a little tired after being excited. Although he didn't understand the specific operations and management, he was able to participate in such a big scene with his own vision. It was still very successful. emotional.
In fact, in Chen Li'an's own opinion, he is just talking on paper, giving a direction and plan. If he is really asked to do these things, it is likely that none of them will be good. Let alone talk about cooperation with Changhong, where does Changhong's door open? He doesn't know.
However, an enterprise is a team, and each person has a different division of labor. As long as Chen Li'an can make effective suggestions and plans at critical moments, it will be fine, and other things will naturally be handled by professionals.
You can't expect a technical worker to do the sales work, let the salesman do the research and development, each perform their own duties and everyone does their own work, there is no reason not to be successful.
If it really fails, then ask the leader what he does for food.
In the conference room of Lixin VCD, Qiao Linmu looked at the backbones of various departments in the factory, knocked on the table and said, "You have heard Li'an's words, whether the sales volume of the factory can double in the second half of the year depends on whether we can catch it this time." Take a chance."
The director in charge of production said with some concern: "Director, then we have to increase production in advance, but if the sales volume fails, we will have a backlog in our hands."
"This is not your concern, as long as you can ensure that the finished lettuce comes out on time and according to the quantity." Qiao Linmu couldn't help but lit a cigarette again, glanced at the sales department and said, "Old Xiao, are you I have worked in sales for more than ten years, do you think this plan will be successful?"
Qiao Linmu was also worried in his heart. He rashly joined the battle in the color TV industry. If he won, the sales would double, but if he lost, all his hard work in the previous year would be wasted.
Old Xiao from the sales department smoked a cigarette and remained silent for a while and said, "The plan is very good, but the risk is not small. If it is not executed well, the loss outweighs the gain."
In this plan, Lao Xiao was under the greatest pressure. After taking a puff of cigarette, he looked at Qiao Linmu and said, "But I think this opportunity must be seized!"
After hearing what Lao Xiao said, Qiao Linmu felt a little relieved, so he patted the table and said, "Then do it!"
"Done!" Everyone in the meeting room shouted together.
The companies in the 90s all carried a burst of vigor and courage, much more courageous than those later bosses, and they all dared to fight.
Chen Li'an trusted his own plan and those in the factory, but just to be sure, he sat in the study and carefully sorted out his plan. After all, it was related to hundreds of millions of sales and the livelihood of hundreds of workers, so it was a bit sloppy. No way.
After sorting out all the plans, Chen Li'an checked the deficiencies and filled the omissions several times before he was finally relieved. After drinking the water glass that had long been cold on the table, he called Li Dabai over.
"Dabai, go and fax these materials to Yangcheng later." Chen Li'an handed the materials to Li Dabai, and urged: "This matter is very important, and there must be no omissions when faxing."
Li Dabai took the information and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I am no longer the Li Dabai before!"
Chen Li'an looked at Li Dabai who was full of energy, nodded his head slightly, and then said hesitantly: "Forget it, I'll go with you, I just happened to go out for a meal, I'm almost starving to death."
Li Dabai: "." You just don't believe me!snort!We are assistants who have studied in the secretary's handbook!
However, Li Dabai didn't dare to protest against such a big event. He concealed his embarrassment and looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Okay, but your classmate is still waiting for you outside, what should we do?"
Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Jiang Qingqing was still at home, so he hesitated and said, "Then let's go together and send her back to school after dinner."
"Okay, by the way, this is the list of people who called you today. I have marked a few important things." Li Dabai handed the small notebook in his hand to Chen Li'an.
Chen Li'an took it and glanced at it, then put it on the table and said, "Good job, let's go eat first."
More than two hours later, Jiang Qingqing let go of Chen Li'an's hand in an Audi car at the gate of Beiying, left a kiss on his cheek, and got out of the car with a sweet smile, carrying a bunch of presents.
After Jiang Qingqing left, Li Dabai who was driving in front couldn't help curling his lips, and said in a resentful tone: "Mr. Chen, I thought you only liked older ones."
Chen Li'an glanced at Li Dabai, closed his eyes and said calmly: "Young people, don't always say what you like or don't like, be simple, we are all friends."
Li Dabai: "." You are so innocent, if I hadn't seen the torn silk stocking in the bedroom, I would have believed it!
Maybe it was due to too much physical exertion yesterday and too much mental energy today, Chen Li'an fell asleep after sitting in the back seat for a while.
Li Dabai looked at the faint dark circles on Chen Li'an's face, he was really afraid that he would die suddenly one day, why would he make so many friends for nothing.
The car drove very smoothly, and when the car stopped at the destination, Chen Li'an didn't even wake up.
Seeing Chen Li'an falling asleep with his head tilted, Li Dabai sighed and came to the back seat, sat next to Chen Li'an, supported his head on his lap, and gently rubbed his temples.
Li Dabai looked over the hills and looked at the sleeping Chen Li'an. He couldn't help but slide his fingers over his sexy jawline, and finally stayed on his lips. He pressed his fingers lightly, then raised his hand again. Print it on your face.
Li Dabai couldn't help laughing, using the words in Japanese novels, this should be called an act of a slut.Using the words in youth novels, this is called an ignorant and innocent secret love.
Li Dabai gently rubbed Chen Li'an's temples, and just looked at him quietly like this, even though it was getting dark outside and his legs were numb, he still didn't choose to wake up Chen Li'an.
After waking him up, he must be busy again, so let him have a good rest first.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Li'an opened his eyes in a daze, and saw two hemispheres blocking his view, the tip of his nose was still lingering with a faint girlish body fragrance, and the pillow under his head seemed to be full of elastic girlish legs.
Li Dabai looked at Chen Li'an who opened his eyes, and asked softly: "Mr. Chen, you are awake, do you want to sleep for a while?"
"No need." Chen Li'an sat up with his hands propped up, looked at Li Dabai and said, "Thank you, I slept very well just now, and I haven't slept so soundly for a long time."
Li Dabai showed a sweet smile, and secretly pressed his numb and unconscious thigh.
Chen Li'an glanced at Li Dabai's movements, stretched his waist and asked, "How long have I been asleep, and what time is it now?"
"Two hours, it's [-]:[-] now." Li Dabai replied immediately.
Chen Li'an didn't expect that he had slept for so long. No wonder Li Dabai kept rubbing his legs. Thinking that he still had seven or eight phone calls, he said to her, "It's so late, go back and rest early."
"Yes." Li Dabai responded, and just about to lift his legs, he couldn't help but snorted. His legs seemed to be pricked by countless fine needles, and the numb feeling was like the snowflake screen of a TV.
Looking at Li Dabai's appearance, Chen Li'an couldn't help laughing, then pushed open the car door, went to the front seat and adjusted the seat forward.
"Be patient, just straighten your legs and rest for a while."
Li Dabai hummed with a blushing face, feeling that the voice he just called sounded a bit indecent.
Chen Li'an lay down in front of the car window and said to Li Dabai: "You go home after a while, I will go back first."
Seeing Chen Li'an's leaving back, Li Dabai couldn't help muttering: "I don't know how to rub it for me, I have no conscience."
Chen Li'an returned home in his study, took Li Dabai's small notebook, and answered the phone calls one by one according to the notes on it.
By the time the last call was made, it was already an hour later.
Chen Li'an looked at the things he was going to do later in the notebook, and called Li Dabai again, and reported his upcoming itinerary to her, and asked her to make a itinerary.
"I'll be busy in the next two months." Chen Li'an sighed after hanging up the phone, and was just about to take a shower and sleep when the phone rang again.
Looking at the unfamiliar number, Chen Li'an hesitated for a moment before answering it. An unexpected voice soon came from the other end of the phone.
"Hi, is this Lian?"
Chen Li'an asked with some uncertainty: "Miss Xiaoli?"
"Yes, it's me." Liu Xiaoli on the other end of the phone smiled, and then joked, "You seem surprised?"
Chen Li'an leaned back on the chair, put his legs on the desk and said, "Of course I was surprised. I thought Miss Xiaoli had forgotten about me."
"Are you complaining that I haven't contacted you for so long?" Liu Xiaoli snorted softly and said, "Don't you also contact me?"
"Miss Xiaoli, why didn't you leave me a call?"
"."
Liu Xiaoli suddenly realized that she really didn't leave a call for Chen Li'an.Chen Li'an didn't ask her phone number at that time, Liu Xiaoli thought for a while and felt that Chen Li'an didn't ask her for the number at the beginning, as if she was sure that she would contact him proactively.
Or if he doesn't take the initiative, he doesn't care?That's all?Anyway, you don't take the initiative?
Many thoughts came to Liu Xiaoli's mind, but she adjusted her mood and said: "Women are always reserved, you should ask me."
Chen Li'an smiled and did not answer Liu Xiaoli's question directly, but asked instead: "Then what is the phone number now?"
Liu Xiaoli on the other end of the phone had an embarrassing face, and felt that she had been involved. She just said that women should be reserved, so why didn't she take the initiative to call?
The little man was quite good at it. Liu Xiaoli snorted pretending to be shy and said, "If you tease me again, I'll die."
"Okay, just kidding." Chen Li'an put his legs down, sat up straight and asked, "Where are you now? Wuhan or Beijing."
"I just arrived in the capital today, and I want to ask you something."
"Are you in a hurry? If you're not in a hurry, we'll meet and talk tomorrow."
"Tonight. Can't you?"
"OK! Address!"
Listening to Chen Li'an's words, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help laughing silently, the little man knew you couldn't help it, but she still pretended to hesitate and said: "Forget it, it's too late now, let's see you tomorrow."
Chen Li'an: "." Playing tricks, right?Careless!
"Then let's talk about it tomorrow." After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and took off the battery by the way.
Chen Li'an hummed a song and put water in the bathroom to take a bath. No matter what Liu Xiaoli thought, he had to let her know the price of playing routines. It's too fussy to be an adult and still play routines!
Chen Li'an hung up the phone suddenly, Liu Xiaoli was also taken aback for a moment, struggled for a while and called Chen Li'an again, but this time the connection failed.
Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Liu Xiaoli angrily threw the phone on the bed and couldn't help snorting, "Stingy, you are so angry."
But after seeing the newspaper on the table from the corner of the eye, Liu Xiaoli forgot all the unhappiness again, such a man is interesting, what can a man without temper have.
Liu Xiaoli picked up the newspaper on the table, looked at the report on Lixin VCD, thought of all kinds of Chen Li'an, thought of his handsome face and melancholy eyes, thought of his artwork being sought after by so many rich people in Paris, thought of.
Such a man is really hard to make people angry.
There are many people who are richer than Chen Li'an, but it is almost impossible to find someone as good as him.Not to mention people who are the same as Chen Li'an, even among those who are ten years older than Chen Li'an, there are not many people who are better than him.
How could she get angry with such an excellent man over some trivial matter? Liu Xiaoli put down the newspaper and began to think about what to wear tomorrow. On the bed behind her, a little girl carved with pink jade was biting her finger and sleeping soundly.
Normally, divorced single mothers seldom bring their children to meet their ambiguous partner, but for Liu Xiaoli, she has to do so. She has to see if Chen Li'an can accept it. If not, then stop it as soon as possible, so as not to waste time and affection.
No one is as important as a daughter.
Everyone has something that they care about the most, and Chen Li'an naturally has it, but now the only thing he cares about is himself.
As for who he will care about in the future, Chen Li'an doesn't know, anyway, he just wants to sleep well now.
But lying on the soft pillow, Chen Li'an missed Li Dabai's knee pillow a little bit.
"I forgot to buy work clothes for Dabai today." Chen Li'an turned over and muttered before falling into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, before Chen Li'an got up, Li Dabai had already arrived. After he took out the key from his bag and opened the door, he didn't hear any movement, so he pushed open the door of Chen Li'an's bedroom.
Looking at Chen Li'an who was still sleeping, Li Dabai leaned over to look at his face, smiled foolishly, and then quietly left the bedroom after looking at it for a long time.
Half an hour later, Chen Li'an was woken up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Li Dabai standing at the head of his bed, looking at him with a set of clean clothes in his hand.
"Mr. Chen, it's already eight o'clock. You have an appointment with director Feng Xiaoning and Ning Jing at ten o'clock."
Chen Li'an yawned, looked at Li Dabai who was wearing a white shirt and short skirt, and said mysteriously, "Dabai, come here, I want to lean on you and sleep for a while."
Li Dabai froze for a moment, looked at Chen Li'an hesitantly with the clothes in his hand, finally sat down next to Chen Li'an with a blushing face, let Chen Li'an pillow his leg like yesterday, and gently rubbed his temples.
Chen Li'an smelled the perfume on Li Dabai's body, enjoyed her gentle way, and couldn't help muttering: "Dabai, you have spoiled me."
Li Dabai's hands stopped, and he really wanted to squeeze Chen Li'an's head, obviously you asked for it, okay?
However, seeing Chen Li'an enjoying with his eyes closed, Li Dabai was still reluctant to use more of his energy, and still gently rubbed Chen Li'an's temples.
It's just that her eyes were always looking at Chen Li'an's chest that was exposed outside the quilt, and she almost couldn't help but want to poke it a few times.
It's a pity that such benefits didn't last long, Chen Li'an pulled the quilt to cover himself miserly, let Li Dabai go out, and got dressed by himself.
Li Dabai sat in the living room with his mouth pursed, feeling that Chen Li'an was too stingy, he didn't even show him changing clothes, what a stingy man!
Not long after, Chen Li'an finished washing and came out after getting dressed. Li Dabai took a look, walked up to Chen Li'an, straightened his collar and said, "Do you want to eat something before going?"
Chen Li'an casually took an apple from the table and said, "In a hurry, just eat an apple."
"I know you're in a rush, so you need to sleep a little longer." Li Dabai said with disgust, and ran to the kitchen to get a boiled egg and handed it to Chen Li'an.
Chen Li'an knew he was in the wrong, so he smiled and didn't refute. At that time, he didn't wake up and his mind was in a daze. It really wasn't intentional.
The place where I met Feng Xiaoning was not far from Chen Li'an's house, it took only 10 minutes by car.
I haven't seen her for two months. Feng Xiaoning doesn't seem to have changed much, but he can tell that he is in a very happy mood. It seems that after the film is cut, he is very confident in the film.
Ning Jing's changes were not small, but when she saw Chen Li'an, her expression was slightly embarrassed, and then she covered it up.
"What have you been up to lately? It's really not easy to find you." Ning Jing looked at Chen Li'an and complained. She called Chen Li'an several times during this time, but she couldn't get in touch.
Chen Li'an smiled apologetically and said: "I was filming in the mountains, my mobile phone has no signal, and there are too few communication base stations in China."
"What movie are you filming again?" Ning Jing asked curiously, "Do you really plan to stop doing art and just be an actor?"
"No, I just encountered a good script and couldn't stay idle." After Chen Li'an explained, he looked at Feng Xiaoning and said, "Director Feng is looking for me this time to discuss the release?"
Feng Xiaoning nodded and said: "The factory has seen the finished film, and plans to participate in this year's Golden Rooster, so it may be released in advance. You are an investor, so naturally you need to talk to you."
Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment. If he remembered correctly, Red River Valley should be participating in the next Golden Rooster. It seems that under his own influence, this time has been brought forward.
Chen Li'an thought for a while and asked, "Are you sure you will win the prize? This year's Golden Rooster is not easy to win."
Feng Xiaoning smiled and said: "It is indeed difficult, Hong Cherry, Changing Face, Kong Fansen will participate, but the factory is very confident, and I am also confident."
Chen Li'an didn't know where Feng Xiaoning's confidence came from, which of these films was the most annoying, and this was the Golden Rooster Award, did you have a chance to win the award if you made a good film?
There is a slogan in the selection of the Golden Rooster: Don't recognize relatives, only recognize works;
You don't need to read the previous ones, just read the last sentence, fully negotiate and take the overall situation into consideration.
With whom?What's the big picture?
Anyway, looking left and right, Chen Li'an and Feng Xiaoning didn't look like the big picture, but considering the Shanghai Film Studio, it is reckoned that he can give the Hundred Flowers Award, and the Golden Rooster should not be counted on.
As a new product that has only been developed for a century, film has become the most influential art form in the world.
The huge influence will naturally make this art no longer pure. Both capitalists and politicians will want to directly or indirectly achieve some of their goals through movies.
Therefore, film festivals are naturally not pure. As long as there are people, there will be various demands and purposes, and film festivals also have their own demands and purposes.
On the surface, it is to promote the development of the film, and people will not tell you what happens behind the scenes.
Does Red River Valley have an award-winning level?Of course there are, otherwise Six Princesses would not replay it over and over again, but if you really want to win an award, you don't just watch the quality of the movie.
Especially in awards like the Golden Rooster, Red River Valley and Feng Xiaoning still can't reach the trophy. The best result is to give a worthless Baihua. Anyway, there are more yellow eggs every year, and it doesn't matter if there is one more.
Chen Li'an didn't have any idea about this point. He didn't care if he could be awarded or not. After participating in two film festivals, he understood that this was ideology, ZZ position and personal connections.
No matter which country's film festivals are like this, the country is naturally no exception, and there are even leading places. It is natural to be stronger than others.
Chen Li'an stirred the coffee in the cup, looked at Feng Xiaoning and asked, "When is the movie going to be released in the factory?"
"July, during the summer vacation." Feng Xiaoning thought for a while and said, "However, the specific release time is still being negotiated, and it will be July [-] if nothing unexpected happens."
Chen Li'an nodded and said: "I don't have any objections. You are professionals and know better than me what the schedule is suitable for. If you need me to do anything, you can tell me."
"Yes, you have to participate in the promotion this time!" Ning Jing, who had been silent by the side, interrupted immediately, obviously dissatisfied with Chen Li'an's failure to participate in the winner's promotion last time.
They are both leading roles, so how can you be lazy!
Chen Li'an couldn't help giving Ning Jing a blank look, and then said to Feng Xiaoning: "I will try my best to participate in the publicity, but I can't guarantee the exact time right now. It will have to wait for you to fix the schedule."
Feng Xiaoning nodded and said, "I will make sure as soon as possible, and Mr. Zhou would like to trouble you to inform me."
Chen Li'an agreed and said, "Okay."
After finishing the business, they chatted for a while before ending the meeting, but Ning Jing did not go with Feng Xiaoning, but asked Chen Li'an to take her home.
After sitting in the car, Chen Li'an looked at Ning Jing and asked, "What's the matter, I feel that you have something against me today."
Ning Jing snorted and said, "I'm afraid you're lazy, how can there be a leading actor who doesn't participate in the promotion?"
"I said I would participate, but this time I invested money." Chen Li'an glanced at Ning Jing suspiciously, always feeling that she looked at him a little differently, but he couldn't explain why.
Ning Jing was embarrassed by Chen Li'an, so she deliberately changed the subject and said, "Do you have time tomorrow?"
"Very busy, what's your business?" Chen Li'an asked back.
Ning Jing glanced at Chen Li'an and said, "Forget about being busy, do you want to have a cup of tea with me later?"
Chen Li'an looked at Ning Jing and always felt that there was something wrong with her, so he refused: "Next time, I have something to do later."
"I really don't understand what you're busy with. If you don't go, don't go." Ning Jing said relaxedly, but she was still a little bit disappointed in her heart, and then said to Li Dabai: "Just stop at the intersection ahead."
"Sister Jing, you haven't arrived yet." Li Dabai asked looking at the rearview mirror.
"I still have something to go home."
As soon as Ning Jing said this, the car suddenly became quiet. Ning Jing realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. If she had something to go home, she had to be sent by Chen Li'an. It was not obvious that she had another purpose!
Combined with what Ning Jing said in the car, it seems that her purpose is to ask Chen Li'an to go to her house for tea?
Ning Jing took a sneak peek at Chen Li'an, and was relieved to find that he didn't respond, thinking that he didn't think much about it.
After the car came to a complete stop, Ning Jing quickly opened the door and got out of the car. She just took a step, then opened the door and looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Call me tomorrow if you are free. I have something to do with you."
Before Chen Li'an could reply, Ning Jing turned around and left, leaving only a back view for Chen Li'an.
"It's strange." Chen Li'an closed the car door in confusion, and said to Li Dabai: "You can contact Feng Xiaoning later to confirm the scheduled time of the Red River Valley. Affect my subsequent arrangements."
"Okay." Li Dabai responded, then started the car and continued to move forward.
After a while, the car arrived at the studio. Chen Li'an got out of the car without waiting for Li Dabai to find a parking space. Parking in the alley is really troublesome. Every time he drove over, Li Dabai had to find a place to park for a long time.
The studio is still the same as it was before, without any changes. The tree in the yard is still bare, with only countless steel pipes adorning it, forming a strong contrast with the luxuriant ginkgo trees.
Chen Li'an came to the studio, and there was a faint smell of oil paint in the room. Bai Qing was wearing a white T-shirt, sitting in front of the easel and drawing, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Chen Li'an glanced at the electric fan and air conditioner that were not turned on, and walked behind Bai Qing to look at her painting.
This time the painting is still the theme of the family, but it has changed from the dining table to the outdoors, a family of three standing on a long stone step, but now only the general shape is drawn, Chen Li'an still can't see what Bai Qing wants to express What.
Bai Qing felt that there was someone behind him, and it was that familiar smell, so he didn't stop but continued to draw.
"Where did you go this time?" Chen Li'an asked behind Bai Qing.
The paintbrush in Bai Qing's hand daubed lightly on the canvas, without looking back, he said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm at home."
Chen Li'an froze for a moment, looked at the family of three on the canvas, and vaguely understood why she continued to create family themes.
The room was quiet for a while, Chen Li'an raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and asked after a while, "What do you think about the solo exhibition in the United States?"
Bai Qing put down the paintbrush in his hand and thought for a while, then said, "I want to see it."
"Okay, then I'll reply to Jifa."
Chen Li'an was not surprised by Bai Qing's choice, art needs collision.
The development of modern art in the United States has its own very unique trajectory. Abstract Expressionism and Popism all came from there. Even at present, American artists are beginning to emphasize breaking away from any genre.
The concept of modern art is constantly overthrown and recreated there, and New York is now the modern art center surpassing Paris and London.
It is very attractive to many artists, and Bai Qing naturally wants to see what this world modern art center is like.
However, Chen Li'an himself did not have a good impression of the United States. He had seen too much news in his previous life, so it was difficult for him to have a good impression of this country.
This can be regarded as the result of being influenced by public opinion. It is estimated that the Western world has a bad impression of China.However, this did not affect Chen Li'an's curiosity about American modern art.
As an immigrant country, as a new center of modern art, Chen Li'an wants to see what interesting things have been produced in the collision of different cultures.
It's just that Ji Fa chose to hold the exhibition in August, and there is still one month left.
Chen Li'an stayed in the studio all afternoon, went out to film for a few months, and took so many photos that he still hasn't been developed.
When taking pictures of the Red River Valley, Chen Li'an took many photos of snow-capped mountains and temples, as well as local residents and monks. Chen Li'an recorded the purity and devotion there.
All kinds of scenery and characters reveal simple beliefs in Chen Li'an's shots. Chen Li'an wants to hold another film festival when Red River Valley is released.
Chen Li'an, who had been busy all afternoon, developed all the photos.
Chen Li'an stood in the dark darkroom, looking at the hanging photos, Chen Li'an felt that his mood had been washed again.
But soon this moment of tranquility was broken, Chen Li'an took out his mobile phone, looked at the number on it, and hesitated to answer the call.
"You were angry yesterday?"
As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Xiaoli's voice came.
Chen Li'an felt that his state of mind was destroyed, and he didn't have that much mood to play with Liu Xiaoli, so he said directly: "No."
Listening to Chen Li'an's voice, Liu Xiaoli looked purely like those disillusioned monks in the temple, and wondered whether he was in a state of wanting nothing.
But Liu Xiaoli continued: "Then do you have time tonight? I want to treat you to dinner."
Chen Li'an looked at the photos in the room and knew that his current state was no longer suitable for picking photos, so he replied: "Okay."
After hearing Chen Li'an's promise, Liu Xiaoli showed a smile, almost thinking that you have no desires or desires.
After making an appointment with Chen Li'an, Liu Xiaoli hung up the phone, looked at her daughter who was tinkering with her cosmetics, and said, "Cissy, let's go out for dinner, let's introduce you to a very powerful uncle."
Sissy, who was wearing shofar braids, turned her head to look at Liu Xiaoli and said oh, her voice was soft and cute.
Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but rubbed her little face, picked her up and put her on her lap and said, "Does Qianxi want to do makeup like mom?"
"Well, I also want to be as good-looking as my mother!" Sissy immediately turned her head to look at Liu Xiaoli and said.
Liu Xiaoli hugged Sissi dotingly and said: "Our Sissy is prettier than mother, so she must be a little fairy in the future!"
"I don't want to be a fairy, I want to be a princess!"
"Okay, okay, our Sissy is a princess."
In the studio, Chen Li'an came out of the darkroom and saw that Bai Qing was still painting, so he walked over and said, "I'm leaving first, I have an appointment for dinner tonight."
Bai Qing hummed indifferently, and then asked again: "Will you go to my place at night?"
Chen Li'an was looking at the family of three in Bai Qing's painting, he was stunned for a moment when he heard her words and said, "Well, I'll be there later."
"Then go get busy." Bai Qing picked up the pen and continued to draw.
(I just found out in the morning that I forgot to post it yesterday. I remember setting a timed release. My brain seems to be broken.)
